Hard days make me want to go crazy!

I just want to give up. I have to pull really deep from within to get through them, and it takes all of my might not to flip out on people because of them. Then I think of the grace of the Lord and that alone inspires me to give to others what he has given to me. Grace Hope and Love. and oh yes it sounds so EASY. But its not. Its not easy to love that guy who cut you off on the freeway. Its not so easy to love your kids when they drive you up the wall. Its not so easy to love that guy that incesstantly asks you for change at the grocery store. Or your boss who wants to explain to you the importance of the NO RED PEN POLICY... Our lives are full of people that seem unlovable. But you should try to love them as much as you can. Society also has to live with us and our nuances so we could attempt to give out a little Mercy as God does for us. Sometimes we are the person cutting someone else off, sometimes we are the overly sensitive screaming person at the store, sometimes we too are not perfect.

How do we learn to love people more? I really don't have any specific answer but I think it starts with Value. How much do you value yourself and your own life? How much do you value your neighbor? I myself am a complete hippie so I love everyone from the stinky to the unintelligible. I too have my moments where I could love more. Give more. Be more.  Do you feel like you owe anything to your Society? Your community? I do! I tihnk were supposed to be in villages helping each other. If you know your neighbors stinky why not send him some soap. If you have a local bum, bring him a sandwhich etc. We could all try to do something to show love caring and compassion. Dont you want people to love and be compassionate to you?

We are all precious gifts from God. We need to value ourselfes and our bodies and regard them as temples. Even if you aren't a Christian, Dont you think we are more then walking vessels of nothing? We are important, we are amazing and we are awesome in our individuality. We all have our pitfalls and issues but none of this makes you or I unlovable, or unimportant. We matter, and if only to God each day we wake up is proof that we have SOMETHING left to do on this earth. God has NUMEROUS plans for us EVERYDAY!

Why do we forget that? We trudge through the day as if we have no purpose and grumble and complain about whats NOT happening. Everyday there are chances to show comeone love. To be a friend to someone. To make a special moment for your spouse. Or to call your grandparents. To Smile at the unsmilable and hug the unlovable. Lets try to integrate small things into our lifes to better not only our own lives but someone elses! This isnt me lecturing you, I think I needed to hear this myself and from the Sermon on sunday to my thoughts today it seems to be a theme for now.

You have purpose in the little things you do everyday. SO do them with love and sincerity and they can change someones life. and that could include your own =)

Be Blessed Ya'll,
